Admittedly, I'm bad at always responding to replies. That's definitely a weakness that I need to continually work on so I don't contribute to the issue of engagement on Hive.
I've had a lot of highs and lows on Hive, like you said - we can't really exist without these highs and lows. The lows of Hive make the highs so much better. Not too long ago, we saw a low (in terms of price) on Hive at $0.12ish but we then saw that whole Huobi event which sent us all the way up to $1 per HIVE. Even though it didn't last forever (because nothing does), it felt amazing to see something that we believe in receive even a shred of the recognition that it truly deserves.
We'll have many more highs and lows here on Hive and they aren't the thing that defines us. How we respond to those events are the moments that define who we are. You've been here consistently regardless of whatever was happening on a personal/blockchain/hive price level and that shows your true character, imo. Hive is strong because the core user base shares a similar sentiment

It can be hard at times, but it does make a difference, especially for the up and coming accounts. If we don't engage, why would they?
I agree, and I think that this ties in with the:
The split away from tyranny was monumental.
100%, the best way to get people here and keep them is to engage. Looking around at the best places on Hive - not just in terms of payouts but in terms of activity and general "vibe" are the creators/communities that engage the most 💪🏽

It is definitely the case and it is where the people are also mixing it up, new and old together.
